device it disappears from the VM (goes into DFU mode). The VM software can see this USB device but it cannot map it to the VM OS, it says it's busy. Hmm, I vaguely remember running WinXP in some virtualization tool (wasn't Sun VirtualBox) on Win7 and I noticed this effect too -- the FW device prese...

The problem is that when the FW software reprograms the device it disappears from the VM (goes into DFU mode). The VM software can see this USB device but it cannot map it to the VM OS, it says it's busy. The FW software on the VM then times out because it never gets to detect the keyboard. I've now...

Progress, but still no good. I can install V1.6 of the Fingerworks utilities if I download the JRE6 from Oracle. During the install I can select the JRE from the 1.5.3 install. I can then run the utils. However, I still cannot apply changes to the keyboard because of the USB issue when the keyboard ...

Thanks for all the help. I have tried the four corner touch and setting the keboard to DVORAK. It claims it has changed the layout, but the keyboard mapping does not change (it remains mapped go QWERTY). Does this work for anyone else? Also, I am unable to install the V1.6 utilities, even if I have ...

Ok, I have a OracleBox VM running with a Windows XP image. I can map my keyboard through to the VM and see it in the Multitouch utilities. But I have multiple issues: 1) The only version of the utilities I can find which includes Java is V1.5.3. This runs and can locate my keyboard, but this runs V1...

It seems everyone thinks the worst, but here's what I think: DVORAK didn't sell as well as QWERTY, so they are dumping the inventory -- either via Apple, or per contract, via Fingerworks. I do believe they have them, but I also think the lead times are despicable. But, supply and demand being what ...

I have an inkjet color printer, which has the benefit that I can make colored paper overlays, but with the downsides you mention. Perhaps one should experiment with printing on overhead foils of varying texture to see if that's a closer match to the original surface? I have not done this myself bec...

To reiterate, try reflashing your device on another PC. I have one PC that seems unable to reflash my Touchstream (and reports similar errors to the ones you have described), but on another PC I can upgrade the firmware without problems. Odd.

Fixed it! I made sure the tap action for the left handed gesture was set to 'Hold punctpad on'. That seems to have done the trick! Max Update, still can't get the programmers' pad to work on the QWERTZ model. I have tried playing with various options. Perhaps I need to reset it and start again. Out ...

Update, still can't get the programmers' pad to work on the QWERTZ model. I have tried playing with various options. Perhaps I need to reset it and start again. Out of interest, if anyone has a DVORAK touchstream who wants to swap for a QWERTZ, I may be interested. I'm not doing too well switching b...

When I do it, it brings up "the history of torture through the ages" - QWERTY keyboards spring to mind, and for many a Touchstream ends torture through reduction of RSI symptoms. It is also 'torture' for many, not being able to buy Touchstreams any more. Somewhat ironic ...

Go to froogle uk and search for Touchstream ... see what it comes up with (not a Touchstream BTW before anyone gets too excited). That's how I feel about standard keyboards these days and the non availability of Touchstream keyboards ... This link may work .... http://froogle.google.co.uk/froogle?so...

Thank you for the interesting observations. It does indeed look like some settings may be overriding the programmers' pad setting. Perhaps it is time to do some more playing around. The only problem is that my home PC doesn't seem to like reprogramming the Touchstream. I'll see how I go. I have a QW...
